Pokkén Tournament DX

If you want a taste of the excitement that’s in
store for you in Pokkén
Tournament DX on Nintendo Switch, be sure to check out the demo
version that’s available on Nintendo eShop.

Pokkén Tournament DX is a one-on-one Pokémon fighting game and the first
Pokémon title to appear on the system. Along with containing all the content from
both the arcade version and the Wii U version of Pokkén Tournament, Pokkén
Tournament DX is also full of new features. Pokkén Tournament DX’s
fighting system is simple enough that people who don’t usually enjoy fighting
games can have fun, but it has plenty of depth to satisfy hardcore fighting-game
fans.

Choose Your Pokémon

You can control over 20
different Pokémon in Pokkén Tournament DX, including such well-known favorites as Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, Lucario,
Darkrai, and Decidueye. Each of these Battle Pokémon has its own unique
characteristic and combat style you’ll need to master to come out on top.

In addition to your Battle Pokémon, you also have a pair of Support
Pokémon that you’ll bring into the brawl. These useful helpers, including Pokémon
such as Eevee, Dragonite, Latios, Jirachi, and Litten, can be called onto the
field when your Support Gauge is full. They provide various effects, such as dealing
damage to your opponent’s Battle Pokémon, raising your Battle Pokémon’s stats,
and more.

Exciting Fighting
Action

Gameplay in Pokkén
Tournament DX will be very familiar to anyone who has played a
fighting game but with some twists to give it its own flavor. Each Battle
Pokémon has access to a wide range of powerful moves, including short- and
long-range attacks, grab attacks, and counterattacks.

The action during
battle switches between two different modes: Field Phase and Duel Phase. During
the Field Phase, players can freely move around the arena as they attack their
opponent. Certain attacks will trigger a Phase Shift, causing the fight to
switch to the Duel Phase. Here, both players move on a two-dimensional plane
and have access to a wider variety of attacks.

When you need a bit of a boost in the heat of battle, you can activate
a Synergy Burst, which will temporarily raise your attack and defense while
slightly regenerating your HP. You’ll even see some Pokémon
Mega Evolve during their Synergy Burst! During a Synergy Burst, you can also
perform a Burst Attack. This incredibly powerful attack not only looks
impressive, but it deals a ton of damage to the opposing Pokémon, too.

Many Ways to Play

Pokkén Tournament DX features multiple game
modes requiring different strategies that will challenge your fighting skills. In
addition to traditional one-on-one battles, you can also participate in Team
Battles. Here, you choose three Battle Pokémon to enter the fight. During each
round, both players choose which Battle Pokémon they will control. At the end
of each round, the HP and Synergy Gauge of the winning Pokémon carries over.
The team that knocks out all three of their opponent’s Pokémon first will be
victorious!

For something new every
day, check out the Daily Challenge. Here, you will partake in either a Basic Battle
or a Team Battle with specific clear conditions and predetermined Battle
Pokémon. Complete the challenge, and you will earn Skill Points, which can be
used to improve your Battle Pokémon’s stats. This is a great way to help your
Battle Pokémon become even stronger.

Enter the Ferrum League,
and you can partake in a quest to become the League Champion. Here, you’ll
battle through four different leagues, facing more-challenging opponents as you
work your way toward the top. There are also missions to complete that will
earn you rewards as you play. Along the way, you’ll experience the story of a
mysterious girl who has an unusual connection to Shadow Mewtwo.

Battle with Friends

Take on human opponents
in multiplayer matches both in person and online. When playing a local game,
you can share one of the Joy-Con controllers with a friend to have awesome
head-to-head battles anytime.

If you’re competing
online, you can enjoy two kinds of battles—Rank Matches and Friendly Matches.
In Rank Matches, you compete for the best ranking with players from around the
world. The ranking will depend on the rank points you receive from the outcomes
of your battles and how many wins you have. It’s a good way to test your skill
against players of similar ability.

Friendly Matches let
you take on friends or random opponents in battles that do not affect your
rank. You can also check out your match record to see where you sit among all
players using Ranking, and Replay allows you to view your own and other
players’ past matches.

Customize Your Experience

Give Pokkén
Tournament DX a personal touch
with My Town. Here, you can adjust the appearance of your player character,
known as a Battle Trainer. Choose your gender, skin color, face, accessories,
and more. Plus, you can use in-game currency called Poké Gold to acquire new
items to customize your Battle Trainer.

Pokkén
Tournament DX Battle Pack DLC

You can expand your
Pokémon roster with the Pokkén Tournament
DX Battle Pack DLC. This paid add-on for owners of the full version
of Pokkén Tournament DX includes additional content to make
your fighting experience livelier than ever before.

The DLC pack includes two new Battle Pokémon: Aegislash—which can switch
between two forms, making it twice the threat in battle—and the mighty Blastoise.
There are two new pairs of Support Pokémon: Mega Rayquaza and Mimikyu as well
as Mew and Celebi. The Battle Pack DLC also includes new avatar items and more!

With its easy controls, simple game system, and exhilarating battles
between dynamic, realistic Pokémon, Pokkén Tournament DX is an exciting take on the world of Pokémon.
